Anna Belogurova, Artisan - Succulents in a Greenhouse
Anna Belogurova, Artisan - Modern Miniature Flower Arrangement - UV Resin Flowers
INSTRUCTOR: Anna Belogurova, Artisan
PROJECT: Succulents in a Greenhouse - UV Resin Flowers
Led by Anna, an experienced miniature artist, teacher and IGMA Artisan, this engaging online class will help participants create a realistic, colorful miniature succulent composition from air dry clay. The lessons combine clear technical instruction with a creative approach to composition, so that at the end of the class, each student will have a display-ready miniature that looks like a 'living' composition.
Anna demonstrates the entire process step by step in real time via Zoom - from preparing and mixing colors to texturing, planting and finishing - and offers individual advice on troubleshooting and composing during the live sessions. Recordings are provided after the class so that students can practice at their own pace.
An original 3D greenhouse will be used as the base for the arrangement. It will feature several sculptural succulents and finishing touches (accents made from natural materials.) Aur dry clay and original molds will be used to create the succulents. Sculptural tools will be used to add shape and texture. Watercolor tinting techniques are also included.
Finished size approximately 22 x 46 mm - perfect for 1:12 scale dollhouses.
Live online class via Zoom, step by step instructions + Q&A. Recordings provided.

INSTRUCTOR: Anna Belogurova, Artisan
PROJECT: Succulents in a Greenhouse - UV Resin Flowers
In this unique online class, miniature artist Anna, introduces students to one of the most original and versatile materials currently used in miniature art: UV resin. Known for its glass-like transparency and durability, UV resin allows artists to create stunning transparent elements, glass effects, and modern sculptural details that take miniature work to a new level.
Working step by step in real time, Anna helps participants create a stylish contemporary floral arrangement, combining delicate wire frames with translucent petals and resin details. Participants will also work with wire in a sculptural sense - shaping, layering and manipulating light effects - to achieve a truly contemporary aesthetic.
As an added bonus, each participant will receive one of Anna's original vases made from UV resin, specially designed to showcase the finished miniature arrangement.
